In the hospital, after Horace emerged from a ward, Rebecca and Tabitha immediately rushed towards him and asked worriedly, “Horace, how was it?”

Horace replied, “Dad is sleeping now. From the words of the doctor, he’s recovering fine. You guys don’t need to be too worried.”

Tabitha let out a sigh as she sat down on a bench nearby, “You don’t have to console me. I know too well about his condition. The hours he’s remaining conscious has been decreasing, and he’s out cold most of the time. How much better can he be?”

Horace squatted in front of his mother, “Mum, doctor said that he will make a slow recovery. You have been standing by in the hospital for too many days. You need to go home and rest.”

“What kind of rest do I need? Speaking of which, you have been back for a while but you haven’t even gone home yet. Instead of just staying here, you are the one who is supposed to go back and rest.”

“Don’t mind me. There are matters in the company for which I haven’t dealt with…”

“Horace.” Rebecca’s voice came, “Listen to your mum. Go back home now. With the way things are developing in our family, if you fall sick too, then we will really be at a loss.”

Upon hearing that, Horace pursed his lips and got up slowly, “Alright. I’ll back for now and come back later at night.”

Just as he was about to leave, Tabitha grabbed his arm. Compared to before, her expression was a notch graver, “Horace, there is something I must tell you.”

Tabitha made a horrified expression when she heard that, and she tugged at Tabitha’s shirt, “Mum…”

Tabitha said, “Things have been moving on too fast. What else is there to do other than telling him? Furthermore, if he sees it by himself when he gets home, how do you want to explain it?”

Tabitha’s face grew paler by the second, and she was stuttering, yet nothing coherent came out of her mouth.

Horace furrowed his brows lightly, “What happened?”

Tabitha said in a hushed tone, “Your sister has done something stupid previously. She has asked for someone to push Clarence’s ex-wife into the water. It has caused some commotion at that time, but in the end she was saved and she was fine.”

Horace’s pursed lips slightly lifted as he said slowly, “I know about that.”
